Eastman New Horizons Orchestra Camp

Spend three days making music and enjoying leisure time with new and old New Horizons friends at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, NY. This orchestra camp is designed for adult string, woodwind brass, and percussion players performing at an intermediate skill level or higher. Rehearsal sessions will consist of full orchestra, string orchestra, sectionals, and classes of special interests. An informal “concert” will conclude the camp on Sunday morning.

The camp begins with registration early Thursday afternoon and finishes with lunch on Sunday. The first meal is dinner on Thursday.

The New Horizons International Music Association is offering a small number of $150 scholarships to musicians who join NHIMA (www.newhorizonsmusic.org) and who have never attended a NHIMA-sponsored music camp before. If you are interested, please click on the link below to go to the web site and see the process. Scholarships will be paid directly to the musician after the camp is completed. Therefore, you must pay for the camp in full at the time of registration.

Instructional Fee (No Housing) – $315 (this includes instruction and meals, but not housing for those who plan to commute to campus)

Rates that include Housing – Participants wishing to stay on-campus may reserve rooms during the registration process. Total fees (housing, meals, instruction fee) are as follows:

one person in a room with a private bath $410 per person

two people in a room with a private bath $370 per person

one person in a room sharing a bath with another room $395 per person

two people in a room sharing a bath with another room $360 per person

Note: Some on-campus housing options are limited. We will do all that we can to assign campers to their first choice. Hint – register early! Sharing housing with one or more campers reduces cost and significantly increases the likelihood of obtaining your first choice.

Meals – Meals begin Thursday night with dinner and end Sunday with lunch. The meal package provides a total of 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, and 3 dinners.
